Healthy Happenings
BE SAFE! As we approach the holidays, it is more important than ever to wear a mask in public places, avoid close contact by staying at least 6 feet apart from anyone not in your household, wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, avoid contact with anyone sick, avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth, avoid indoor social gatherings, and GET A FLU SHOT! If you plan on traveling to another location to celebrate the holidays, check the community’s number and rate of COVID cases first at www.cdc.gov/publichealthgateway/healthdirectories. Learn more about virus spread risk and holiday celebrations at www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/holidays.html.
